Hi everyone! In march 2026 my mum Angie and I are heading to the swedish arctic circle to complete 250km of dog sledding. During the trip we will be sledding 50km a day over 5 days, camping in -30 degree temperatures, looking after the dogs and eating rehydrated food (if you know us this will be our biggest struggle - we get very hangry). We are raising and splitting all money between the Mountbatten Hospice, and the Kissy Puppy charity associated with the hospice. Any donations are hugely appreciated!

Mountbatten Hospice has been the Isle of Wight's only hospice for 35 years and is known for innovation across the UK and beyond. They provide expert medical, nursing and domiciliary end of life care and bereavement support to people in their own homes, including care homes, in our Newport building and in the local hospital. Kissy Puppy is a charity that focuses on helping children and families that are affected by life shortening conditions. They have joined forces with the Earl Mountbatten Hospice and the local NHS to help support and develop services on the Island for children and young people, and their families. They are an amazing charity and offer flexible, individualised care and support, in the place of choice, built around the unique needs of each family.
